Writing for SamMobile, Abhijeet M. says Samsung will be scrapping a lot of its own software.

What’s interesting is that Samsung has apparently pre-installed quite a few Microsoft apps, possibly as a result of the deal the two companies made recently in relation to the patent royalty case they were embroiled in.

If true, it’s a smart move for both Samsung and Microsoft. Samsung’s software has always been crappy and undercutting Google’s services works for both of them.
